Windows 10: Devices can't connect to windows 10 mobile hotspot.

Hi everyone,I've recently dug out an old laptop that was running windows 8, to use the laptop as a hotspot to run a VPN through. Tested before updated and all was fine but my ping was a bit high so updated to windows 10. After the update, I can see the mobile hotspot on my PS5 and phone but keep timing out when trying to connect. I'm certain all my adapter setting are correct and I don't want to restore back to windows 8 as the update took forever, as you can imagine. Any help? Thanks!

:)

Windows 10 Mobile Hotspot Not working

Hi,

Your Bluetooth connection may be enabled which prevents you from setting up your mobile hotspot. To have this addressed, we suggest turning off the Bluetooth connection and see if you're able to set up your mobile hotspot. Follow these steps:

• Open Settings and select Devices.
• Click Bluetooth, then toggle it OFF.

Once done, check if you can now turn on your computer's mobile hotspot. Let us know how it goes.

Regards.

 

Mobile Hotspot devices can't getting IP Address - Windows 10

Has mobile hotspot over the VPN previously worked or has it never worked?

If it worked before and it doesn't now, you probably skipped some steps in setting up your hotspot now. This is why I have attached that guide which clearly lists all the steps to do.

Follow this procedure in order:

1)Disable mobile hotspot.

2)Disable the VPN.

3)Re-enable mobile hotspot.

4)Re-enable VPN and Share VPN on mobile hotspot connection.

Check if the correct ip address is released to the devices connected to the mobile hotspot.
